Nuclear Thunder!

You need teammates who help out with CAS. First time there is actual coordination in air battles

Yes,and in top one its F-15A doing the same.

I noticed that. The Osas and Rolands can fire on the move…

I wish Gaijin would just give them the same limitations as us…

that’s both sides you just have to go low and fast then clap

Kinda impossible when 90% of the team is made up of players who have never touched jets before. Plus everyone wants to dogfight and not actually put in the work of CAS.

They work, they’re just much much worse.

they move FAST too I’m like bro what you guys got in those engines

Speaking of which does the US have a patriot system?

The go to for me is hug ground in 24M,drop 7 GNSS KABs,do it twice,spawn nuke 23,farm more SP

That or go around the side of the ground battle north or south and then turn in at a sam battery and farm ground targets

The only time its worth it is when you have 250sp nuke to drop it on spaa outpost or ammo/fuel depot. Worked with friend in pair of 250 nuke phantoms. I take out spaa outpost, he goes to base, then we finish it with 2 nukes. Then repeat.

The worst part if that the F-4S is premium soo the guy is farming a ton of SL

I just practice with my new A-10A late. I do relatively decent in it, but the AI being able to track without los and firing on the move is bad.

I played both the Soviets (with the 29 and 23) and the Americans. The Americans have more powerful fighters (due to their larger missile count. You have a higher hit probability due to the higher number of launches). They have the F-14A (with inferior radar and anti-aircraft fire than the 29), the F-14B (with the A-model’s drawbacks removed), and the F-15 (with AIM-9)—this is because they don’t have jamming-resistant missiles. The American team quickly accumulates points for even the most minimal nuclear weapons. Simply firing off a bunch of Phoenixes will get you 1-2 (even without the Iranian one), or you can easily get 2-3 with the F-15A using AIM-7.

Regarding balance:

The US needs to issue the F-111F, as a counterpart to the Su-24. Replace the Phantom without Doppler (issue the J Phantom en masse, allowing it to fly with the same rigs – Fox 1 + nuclear), give the F-18A or the Phantom the HARM, as a temporary solution due to the lack of a G modification (since flying the A-10 or 7 is long, the point of suppressing air defenses is lost with the effectiveness of shells – they shoot down anti-aircraft missiles easier than you can reach them).

Make the anti-aircraft guns less accurate (by 15-25%, especially against projectiles – logically, the target is smaller, harder to hit), reduce the air defense saturation. Approximately 10-15% of the current number.

Regarding the USSR:
Give the Su-27 (1 target missile, long transit time). If you’re afraid of missiles, make the pods 2 ER and 2 27R (like the 141st) (to basically have the same number of missiles as the F-15: the F-14 has 4 Fox-3, 2 Fox-1, 2 IK, the F-18 has 4 PARL, 2 IK. As mentioned earlier, make a modification with anti-aircraft missiles - 2 anti-aircraft missiles, 2 PARL, 2 IK), but 4 27ER is better.

Make the 23MLD pod with a nuclear bomb + R-24R (similar to replacing the F-4E with an F-4J with a nuclear bomb and a Fox-1), give the MiG-25 with anti-aircraft missiles (2 anti-radar missiles and nothing else), as a gameplay convention.

they are all running for the big nuke only to find someone camping airfield when they wasted 2.5k spawn points and helped the team 0 against 30ton base nuke droppers.

In a PvP game that is to be expected. Why would a person choose an A6 or Su25 over a fast and nimble fighter, especially people who have never played jets before? It’s only the more experienced players who will do CAS and SEAD

Russias fine, there’s more to the game then dogfighting in the middle of the map just go around and take out AI or flankers.

Would be funny if they gave it 48x 250s or 24x 500s or 12x 1000s from those chests only and those who didn’t get them are screwed lol

5 and 30kt nuke is worth it so much more than the game ender bc you can go back to base and get another

The problem is you NEED CAS to actually progress the mode but as usual Gaijin tailored it to dogfighting
